Trump: 'Mueller is Comey's Best Friend'

President Donald Trump slammed fired FBI director James Comey in a Monday tweet, returning to his claim that the probe by special counsel Robert Mueller into Russian interference in the 2016 election is a "witch hunt."

"Mueller is Comey’s best friend," Trump said in the tweet.

Comey gave Strozk his marching orders. Mueller is Comey’s best friend. Witch Hunt!

The president also blasted others involved in the Mueller probe Sunday, including FBI agent Peter Strzok, calling him a "sick loser" in a Sunday tweet.

Why was the FBI’s sick loser, Peter Strzok, working on the totally discredited Mueller team of 13 Angry & Conflicted Democrats, when Strzok was giving Crooked Hillary a free pass yet telling his lover, lawyer Lisa Page, that “we’ll stop” Trump from becoming President? Witch Hunt!

 Strzok is an FBI agent at the center of a test messaging controversy in which he told colleague Lisa Page that "We’ll stop it," regarding Trump becoming president.
